Car shoots in Shanghai can be pretty standard, but our clientFinal Framein Germany wanted to make this one stand out – so we went the extra mile to get super-duper cool locations for the HELLA shoot. Nanpu Bridge is as awesome as bridges get in Shanghai – and of course you need to shoot it with a drone to get the full effect. The view we shot from above and the spectacular visual effects sent our film “Passion for Clean Mobility” soaring above the competition at New York Festivals 2019, snagging the Gold World Medal for Special Visual Effects!

The challenge was to show how electronic mobility works in Shanghai’s most fascinating locations, including the bund, Lujiazui financial district, and the incredibly magnificent Nanpu Bridge.

这次影片的拍摄难度在于如何在上海最具有标志性的地点，比如外滩、陆家嘴金融区以及宏伟的南浦大桥展现上海这座城市的电动出行主题。

Passion for Clean Mobility《热爱绿色出行》

Mandarin Film worked with Alibaba to create a video seen around the world for 11.11, China’s shopping festival.

In an amazingly complicated and time sensitive operation MF was responsible for all aspects of production, simultaneously managing 9 crews around China to come together to produce a video that needed to be shot, edited and outputted in just two days, and delivered to the world on 11.11 itself.

Mandarin Film enlisted the services of director Donovan Greene to take care of the creative vision for the project, which was specifically requested by Alibaba head Jack Ma and included a gala event featuring Daniel Craig, Kevin Spacey, Rain and a multitude of Chinese stars.

The video was shown in New York on 11.11 at New York Stock Exchange as the stock exchange opened, as well as at the virtual bell ringing ceremony in Beijing, and an updated version including the bell ringing was subsequently uploaded to world media a few hours later.

We are proud to be working with Alibaba, the company that holds the record of the biggest IPO in history, and that smashed all records for shopping day in China. Watch out as this company continues to go global – we hope to be right there with them, creating awe inspiring and imaginative fresh content every step of the way.

It’s been a fantastic year of the horse for Mandarin Film, and we thought instead of giving you the usual red envelope stuffed with cash, we’d send you something much more useful - unique access to ten of the best new filming locations we found this year…
